Fodor's Review:

After working as chef de cuisine for 16 years at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, Bolo, and Bar Americain, Neil Manacle ventures out on his own with this smart New American spot in the heart of the East Village. The restaurant is partly owned by furniture design company Ligne Roset, and the contemporary space is furnished sleekly by the brand. The menu isn't huge, but is devoted to seasonal—and whenever possible, local—produce, poultry, and seafood. Current picks include light creations such as crispy soft-shell crab with lime custard, and chilled golden tomato soup. Heartier options are the New York State rabbit served with wild mushrooms, and a spice crusted lamb. The extensive wine list has 30 picks from New York State alone, and the beer list has 24 domestic options.
